The following Address was presented by the Rev. Canon Bonney on behalf 
of the Society to the University of Cambridge in June, 1909, at the celebration 
of the Centenary of the birth of Charles Robert Darwin :— 
To THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS, and SCHOLARS 
of the UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. 
The President and Council of the _PAL/AZKONTO- 
GRAPHICAL SOCIETY desire to associate themselves 
with the University of Cambridge in celebrating the 
Centenary of the birth of Charles Robert Darwin and 
the Jubilee of his great work, ‘‘ The Origin of Species.” 
They remember with pride that he was a Member of 
their Society almost from its foundation till his death in 
1882, contributed to their volume for 1851 a Memoir on 
the fossil Lepadide, and added to it in 1854 one on the 
fossil Balanidz and Verrucide. They rejoice to think that 
his systematic studies of the Cirripedia, of which these 
Memoirs are one result, did much, in the opinion of most 
competent judges, to perfect his education as a zoologist, 
and enable him to deal successfully with a problem of 
singular difficulty. 
For three centuries at least the University has been 
distinguished for sons eminent in almost every branch 
of mathematics, philosophy, and literature; it is now to 
be congratulated on having added to the number of its 
naturalists one who has secured a foremost place by the 
accuracy of his observations, the originality of his ideas, 
and the soundness of his reasonings.

ARTHUR SMITH WOODWARD, Secretary. 
London, June, 1909.
